The AIligator's Meal.

An observer down south says an alliga-
tors throat is an animated sewer. Every
thing which lodges in his open mouth
goes down. He is q lazy dog, and in
stead of hunting for something to eat, he
lets his victuals hunt for him. That is, he
lies with his great mouth open, appar-
emily dead, like the 'possum. Soon a
bug crawls into it, then a fly, then sew
eral gnats and n colony of mosquitoes.
The alligator doesn't close his mouth vet.
He is waiting for a whole drove of things.
He does his eating by wholesale. A little
later a lizard will cool himself under the
shade of the upper jaw. Then a few
frogs will hop up to catch the mosquitoes.
Then more mosquitoes and gnats will
light on the frogs. Finally a whole vii
lage of insects and reptiles settle down
for ON afternoon picnic. Then all at
once there is an earthquake. The big
jaw falls, the alligator blinks one eve,
gulps down the entire menagerie and
opens his great front door again for
more visitors.-Scientiflc American.

In II newspaper fight between ex-
Special Agent Smithee and Commissioner
Sparks 1t Is only simple truth to say that
the former gentleman has been knocked
into smithereens, so to speak. Col.
Smithee recently had himself interviewed
in the Denver Ne,cs. He then asserted
that he had resigned to maintain his W
self.respect because he couldn't conscien-
tiously make reports contrary to what he
saw, even when 50 instructed by the gem
eral land Office. In reply to this the
commissioner publishes letters from the
doughty colonel, in which he. the doughty
colonel, gives promise of wholesale purif-
cation in land matters in New Mexico,
where he was stationed, and apologies
for making charges against Sparks when
he subsequently discovered that they were
based on false grounds. He Graves to be
retained in his position. ,
During the eleven months which en-
braced Col. Smithee's ghttering official
career, his bill for salary and expenses
footed up IS, 375.S0, which shows accom-
plishment as a mathematician, but at the
same time gives convincing proof that the
colonel should remain an to the
private life of his home in Arkansas.

ward with equal vigor to a meeting point
in Idaho.
The Burlington is entering Wyoming
at three points; First, at Cheyenne. with
a spur from Southern Nebraska, which
will be completed in less than two
months. Second, with its main line from
Broken Bow in Northern Nebraska to
Fort Laramie on the North Platte.
Third, with a branch from the latter in
Nebraska, which pushes northward to the
Black Hills and sends a spur into North
western Wyoming. The latter has as yet
only been located. On the line to Fort
Laramie grading is in progress and right
of way to the Fort has been secured.
Whether its course west of Fort
Laramie will be up the Laramie river and
and across the Laramie plains, or up the
North Platte through Douglas, is a point
as yet undecided by the engineers Both
routes have been surveyed. This Is be-
lieved to be the Burlington's main line to
California in case the route across the
mountains from Denver is not adopted.
Wyoming is, as a matter of TACT, but
little behind Colorado in actual railroad
building, while her prospects for an enor-
nous amount of construction next year
are very flattering.

The third day was the marriage feast
Chime on, chime on, sweet BELLS
Where first Of gifts, our perfect Priest
CThe strange old story tells,
Before he took the cup OF grief
He drained that we might find relief,
Blessed for all time from SINS alloy,
And blessing, gave, the cup of Joy.
At Cana was the marvel done
Chime on, chime on, sweet bellsD;
But every feast beneath the sun
The same old story tells,
How, as the earth joy mounts most high,
They have no wine" Is still the cry;
And still the last becomes the best
Whene'er the Christ power stands confessed.
"WhatsO He saith unto you, do" =
Chime on, chime on, sweet bellsl

The old glad story tells
How keeps that world its power divine -
To turn the water into wine,
And day by day, though thirst destroy,
Renew the failing cup of joyl

The jail delivery failed to deliver, and
thus prevented a lot OF ugly complica-
tons. 1t is perhaps Just as well fer the
enterprising gentlemen confined there,
for some of them might have taken a
short cut to the hereafter without the in
teryention of n earthly courts. The
prospective defunct might have some con-
ISOLATION in the reflection that their funcr-
ais would be large and enthusiastic, but
from the way they seem disposed to hang
on to life this thought might not afford
them as much Joy AS some people would
imagine.
